“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.” ~Ray Bradbury
I have a weekly ritual of stopping by a small Vietnamese market close to our home. Thursday is delivery day for Lady Finger bananas, which are sweet little bananas from Mexico.
When I first frequented the shop, the small, dark-haired owner behind the counter would comment rather sternly, “Only bananas, that it!” She would weigh them and stretch out her hand, and I’d dutifully pay, hoping my small purchase would not continue to irritate her.
After a few months, I asked her name. “Maria,” she answered abrup…

Mitophagy is the selective version of autophagy focused on recycling mitochondria. Every cell contains hundreds of mitochondria, their primary responsibility the generation of chemical energy store molecules to power cellular processes. Mitochondria are the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria. They lead dynamic lives, replicating like bacteria, passing component parts around, and fusing together. Mitophagy is a quality control mechanism, removing damaged mitochondria in order to prevent cellular dysfunction. A good deal of evidence suggests that age-related declines in mitochondrial function are in large part caused by a progressive failure of the operation of mitophagy.

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” ~Jack Canfield
Freezing in fear is something I have done since I was a child.
My first home was an unsafe one, living with my alcoholic granddad. Once upon a time I didn’t know life without fear.
I learned young to scan for danger. How were everyone’s moods? Were the adults okay today? I would freeze and be still and quiet in an attempt to keep myself safe and control an eruption.
Unknown to me, between the ages of conception and seven years old my nervous system was being programmed. The house I grew up in was shaping how safe I felt in my body.
Living in a house with domestic abuse and alcoholism and losing my beautiful grandmother who cared for me at five was enough to make that foundation…

hair damage if applied incorrectly
not great for light hair colors
more permanent than commercial dyes

Just like the rest of your face, psoriasis can affect the skin under your beard. But taking the time to change your skin care routine may help mitigate flakes and itchiness.
Psoriasis is a skin condition that can cause itchy, flaky, and inflamed skin all over the body. If you have facial psoriasis, you may deal with patches on your cheeks, including under your beard (unofficially called beard psoriasis).
Shaving and beard products can further irritate skin psoriasis, making it tough to get rid of flaky skin. However, changing up your facial hair products and sticking to a psoriasis-friendly skin care routine can help you manage beard psoriasis.
